Verdict

The Blackview Tab 9 4G is a budget-friendly 10.1-inch tablet featuring a 1920x1200 FHD+ IPS display and a slim 8.9mm aluminum alloy unibody. It is powered by an octa-core Unisoc Tiger T610 processor paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, which is expandable up to 128GB via microSD. Key characteristics include dual 4G LTE SIM support, a substantial 7480mAh battery providing up to 6 hours of video playback, and a Sony IMX258 13MP rear camera alongside a 5MP front-facing sensor. Main pros highlighted by users include its vibrant screen, solid build quality for the price, and the inclusion of a protective case and OTG support for PC-like functionality. However, notable cons include underpowered performance for demanding games, mediocre camera quality in low light, and reports from some users regarding slow Wi-Fi reception and occasional system stability issues.

Summary of the review

Blackview Tab 9 Test - Das günstige Tablet ist ein Geheimtipp!

The Blackview Tab 9 features a premium aluminum unibody, a 10.1-inch 1920x1200 FHD+ display, and dual 4G SIM functionality, making it a stylish, well-connected budget option. Performance is driven by a Unisoc T610 chip and 4GB RAM, which ensures smooth daily usage but struggles with heavy gaming and lacks Widevine L1, restricting streaming services to SD quality. While the device includes a 7,480 mAh battery and a functional 13MP camera, it suffers from slow 3.5–4 hour charging times and poor low-light photo performance.
